How silently, how silently........

......the wonderous gift is given!!



There is something so special about receiving something hand made, and I am sure most of you out there enjoy giving something YOU have hand made to someone special.

We had a quiz during our managers meeting last week and it was to see how ready we all were for Christmas...one of the questions was 'have you finished writing all your cards?' I got extra points because I had not only finished writing them all I had made them all as well!!!



Sorry about the bad photo above, stil experimenting with my light tent!!





I have seen similar cards to this next one on many other blogs and I really wanted to give the wreath a try as I absolutely love it.....I think mine has come out looking a little square but over all I am really pleased with how it turned out.







This next photo is of a project I got from Andrea Walfords 12 weeks of Christmas......this is week number 5, you can find them here http://andreawalford.com/ although I received week 11 yesterday so it is nearly finished.





I got the idea for the little stamped tea lights from my amazing up line Michelle.....thanks lovely!!!

With a very tight Christmas coming up everyone is receiving something small, a hand made gift.......



Well thanks for stopping by, hope you like what you see, pop back anytime!



Stay safe

JOY to the world!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!



Apart from being on a very long and tedious training course for 2 days this week the whole thing seems to have gone quite quickly!! I also had a meeting to go to in Colchester yesterday which meant another day out of the office.......I got some work done today but I think Monday will be a massive chatch up day!!



So here are the next installments of Christmas cards........cant remember where I first saw this idea, I think it was actually a wall hanging and I just used it on a card instead.



Wasn't sure about the dp behind the letters at first but my lovely other half said it looked better with than without......have to trust them at some point!!









I am really not that keen on this next card.......although I love the clean lines and it came out better than I had hoped. This dp is not one of my favorites but with soooooooooo many cards to make I had to come up with different ideas and use different colours so......what do you think??

Mmmmmmmm...........I still not sure.................

Well let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you!!

Liqueur coffee and christmas cards.....

Ok, lets start with the traditional........sorry the photos havent come out too well but its the best one can do in poor lighting.......despite using my new little light tent!!



I totally love the Winter Post stamp set and have used it loads for many of my Christmas cards and projects......





......it just gives a really lovely oldie worldie feel to the cards and everyone who has seen them says how much they love them.

Brrrrrrrrr.......this next card makes me want to reach for the hot chocolate or as we have discovered recently, using a generous helping of an irish cream liqueur in your coffee in place of milk.......mmmmmmmm!!!!

Watch out for those liqueur coffees....they can be a little moreish, but warm you right down to your toes!!

Hope you have enjoyed the cards, have a few more to post and a few more projects to get photographed so should be back later in the week with more.

It has been a busy week for us so apologies for not getting more crafting and posting done but unfortunately life gets in the way!! Back to work on Monday so things may slow down a little but I will do my best!

Stay safe
